In our work, we are investigating the effectiveness of robotics in education. Rather than creating excitement for children when playing with robots in games, we are examining the overall learning environment where a robot becomes a teaching assistant. Also, we design a suitable lesson plan when groups of children participate in activities involving the use of the robot. We first make experiments for the robot to solve "Tower of Hanoi" problem. Second, we designed a lesson plan to teach the "Tower of Hanoi" problem using a KUKA youBot as a teaching assistant. The experiment involved two groups of children: one group was taught with the robot and the other group without the robot. Finally, we present results of a questionnaire study by some experiments with different groups of children for competition and validation.

Abstract
In our work, we are investigating the effectiveness of robotics in education. Rather than creating excitement for children when playing with robots in games, we are examining the overall learning environment where a robot becomes a teaching assistant. Also, we design a suitable lesson plan when groups of children participate in activities involving the use of the robot. We first make experiments for the robot to solve "Tower of Hanoi" problem. Second, we designed a lesson plan to teach the "Tower of Hanoi" problem using a KUKA youBot as a teaching assistant. The experiment involved two groups of children: one group was taught with the robot and the other group without the robot. Finally, we present results of a questionnaire study by some experiments with different groups of children for competition and validation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
